authentically preserved relics. is essentially a picture of what would have happened to the soviet union if it was cut off from any financial support for two decades it's a curious site for western tourists and i think it could be even more appealing for russian travelers to keep its presence on spitsbergen russia is still maintaining a coal mine here but in terms of profit is far behind local server near shops so we've memorabilia is a big hit the defunct are incurred and still helps keep the money flowing guards it's a russian thing yourself but you can't play robles here on the ground you are the local administration is increasingly under pressure to bring the infrastructure up to more than standards if these modernization efforts are not very popular with tourists operators if you come into a very authentic place like arms should stay the way it is that would be my wish i mean that's the part of the

a little you know authentic tradition here. i should not i would not like to have it in a shiny condition to be on as the time to change even for the better is not always good for business something that even a local band has become attuned to when they try to add the morning russian songs to die repertoire the audience called all they wanted to hear it was a song comfortably familiar. hello welcome back one iranian militant group is no longer considered a terrorist organization by canada the us also remains the enemy carry from its own watchlist duran has already warned off her that it's

a dangerous move which could turn the country into a haven for militants. has more. mohamed shows me his box of handmade treasures earrings pendants all made from stone the only material he could find in the prison yard. michel martin and this is how we killed time and the pain from torture and hunger and i still get headaches when i remember this time around valley iranian soldier mohammad spent eighteen years in an iraqi jail during the one thousand nine hundred eighty s. iran iraq war he says he would have been freed earlier if he'd joined the ek image he didn't help to realize the militant revolutionary group was fighting iran in authority on the side of saddam hussein and recruiting new members among prisoners but mohamed refused them they were terrorists killing innocent people i couldn't have anything to do with them i betray my country then the group indeed had

a very gory history in the one nine hundred sixty s. it started a bombing campaign against iran's shah and his allies they were linked to the killing of american citizens and welcomed the u.s. embassy siege in tehran openly calling for the execution of the hostages. the terror continued after these lawmakers evolution with the assistant nation of the country's president prime minister along with many politicians and clerics with generous support from hussein it fought hard in iran as well as saddam's enemies inside iraq in one thousand nine hundred seventy and it came joined america's list of terrorist organizations along with al qaida and hamas and was cited in arguments for the invasion of iraq today iran iraq is still viewed e.-k. as terri's group but america's position has now flipped any case is iran's democratic ah this is just part of the large scale and successful lobby to get any case off the tower least among backers former white house officials army generals

and cia chiefs clint extremely disturbing this is a this is this at the time was a terrorist group they were supposed to be paying officials and moving money around and yet somebody was turning a blind eye to that i think that anything potentially is going to have an influence on the u.s. policy towards iran and could get the u.s. into a very dangerous position as far as potentially going to war with iraq iranian officials second that saying and became a place similar role that america back to position forces played in regime change in libya and in the current conflict in syria the main supporters of beasts terrorist groups or counters because they use from that truce to access through political means. new yorker reporter in his article called our men in iran reveals how members of any case were trained by america's joint special operations command in a camp in nevada one one this is part of an anteroom policy sanctions on iran

a strong but they don't seem to work very well america started using inside agents to destabilize the country and they're using terrorism as a tool and out of those question the ties between israel and iran according to america's n.b.c. network unnamed u.s. officials confirmed and b.k. was involved in the assassination of a number of iranian nuclear scientists backed by israeli intelligence service mossad by israel secret service this quaint everyone is named after the terrorists a man iranian nuclear scientist killed in his own car this area known as been jock is a very poor poor and vibrant place many people pass through here while heading to the mountains resort outside to hear on an ideal location to remind people about something that shouldn't be forgotten or forgiven. mohamed says and make a recognized as a democratic alternative to reign in authorities feel surreal to him that.

nothing's changed they are terrorist tactics may be changed but still the west uses it to get information to get what they want. and the terrorists he says is likely to keep his brutal ways to move. from iran. let your imagination run wild the animated behind blockbusters like war. did he set himself the task of creating a new superhero every day of the year see some of his creations on our web page also there it's a case of another day another scandal as twelve million euros goes missing from greece's tourist industry and this when the country needs it most find out who is to blame at r.t. dot com. companies are reportedly seventy million dollars in debt to afghanistan this is some of them of tax evasion the main focus is on the military's biggest food supplier but antiwar activists brian becker things could pull has enough skeletons in its own closet karzai is caught between

a rock and a hard place he owes his very survival the fact of the matter is the occupation of afghanistan like almost all foreign occupations is riddled with corruption by the occupiers and by the elites who are the recipient of their assistance and does the karzai government really represent the afghan people does it represent working families does it represent the poor farmers i would say absolutely no there's no indication of that whatsoever to the extent that the karzai government is demanding from foreign forces or independent domestic forces any sort of revenue you can you can believe you can guess for sure i would say that much of that money will be treated as loot something that will be the private premise for those who are in power the elite themselves. the launch of a groundbreaking exclusive show hosted by the world's top whistleblower sanches become one of the key events that shaped the year for our take the program was

of rolf precious foreign minister thank you very much for being with r.t. today my pleasure now your ending your ear with a visit to india russia has been clear in its support for india's aspirations to become a permanent member of un security council how do you think the much criticized your own security council will benefit from and yes participation. first of all i would say that criticism is not always warranted the latest wave of criticism was

related to the fact that the security council allegedly cannot act on syria. by these by the desire to see some action on the part of the security council the critics wanted plus the resolution under chapter seven which provides for the use of sanctions on the use of force eventually and russia and china are convinced hundred percent that this would be a disaster and that this would be the beginning of a very slippery slope and will bring us to the libyans in the area which we cannot afford anymore and the region cannot afford the security council was once expended only in the category of not permanent members and no. after several decades of the council functioning be unchanged composition there is a very strong movement towards expanding its membership to better reflect the.

pluralism of the of the world community and we are strongly in favor of this we are convinced that the developing countries and the first of all the new economic and financial leaders in the third world countries like india brazil for example that they must be represented in the security council and we would be in favor of making them new permanent members. provided of course the decision is taken to create new permanent seats like yours said russia is permanently blocking attempts of some of your own security council members to pass a resolution for that would allow an f. or an intervention into syria but do you think a military action could still play take place going around the un like it happened in case of iraq. well not only in case of iraq but also in case of the former yugoslavia yes it is it is possible and you just cite that one example there

are some others but i also feel that those who would like to interfere in the syrian crisis they don't want to do this without some kind of legitimacy or at least some kind often action in the united nations which could be used to justify this as being legitimate some people would like very much to internationalize this situation and to expand the violence beyond the syrian border or set them said being made to specially in cases when the refugees have to flee syria because of the disproportionate actions by the government forces but on the other side the position the armed groups of that position which are several which which are not united on this single come on. a whole series of acceptable methods

salute to the contrary to international humanitarian law. they can cause. the staging terrorist attacks and that it's very disheartening that our western call digs in the security council start that they refuse. condemning terrorist attacks in syria saying that yes there is ms bed but you must take into account the overall context of what is going on in syria and why people resort to terrorist attacks it's absolutely unacceptable and this logic might lead us if we follow this logic might lead us to a very dangerous situation not only in the middle east but in other parts of the world if. patmos and the west would begin to. qualify

terrorist as. bad terrorist and acceptable terrorists one more reason that arises time to time that could actually ok the foreign intervention is serious possession of chemical weapons do you believe that syria will use chemical weapons or is this another pretext for invasion i don't believe syria would use chemical weapons it would be political. suicide for the government if it does and it is also accepted by. everybody including western colleagues the europeans and americans that the biggest threat. in this situation is. the probability that the rebels might take hold of chemical weapons and therefore. while recognizing this when our western friends say but still the responsibilities with the syrian government even if the

rebels they called it it's a very strange logic because at the same time there was a very people encourage rebels not to negotiate with the government but to continue fighting and giving them arms money and moral and political support so it's a very controversial position. in general the logic of those who say no negotiations with us that is really very controversial and very dangerous because. well they're not justifying what the government is doing they have been making a lot of mistakes have been using force disproportionately the security forces clearly war and are prepared to face the public. protests and protests in this teaches and in the villages they have been through you know to call in to foreign aggression not to keep law and order or

civilized men there but their position is provoking the government as i said resorting to terrorist attacks taking hostages and also introducing into this conflict the stick there in their mansion which is very dangerous it is already reverberating in the muslim world. arab governments. and be. ethnic and confessional sic their income position of syria is so complex that if. the campus is established there it was very great all over the region but coming back to the present situation if people who say no negotiations with us that if they believe that. he's departure in whatever form is number one priority

then they must understand that for this geopolitical goal of theirs they would have to pay the price but the price in the lives of the serious of the syrian civilians nato is the claimant of patrick miss out on turkish syrian border is that part of solution and where they really targeted that we recognize the right for think about its own security and the right of turkey to use for this purpose the international arrangements which turkey has in that particular case nato membership. and we accepted this as a given. on the other hand the more military to be or you accumulate in one place. the more risk you have that this one day would be used . as for the. purpose of this deployment yes

i read here that some experts believe that if it is intended to prevent any. syrian crossfire. then it could be positioned differently and as it is in the visits to be positioned some people say it is quiet. useful to protect the. american radar which is part of the american missile defense system building codes in the threat from iran. if this is the case then it is even more risky i would say because this multiple purpose deployment. could create additional. temptations let's talk about iran rather than syria well that's what that's what some people say. the configuration as it is being

presented in the media it. really looks like it could be used against their own you know syria is not the only issue between america and russia first think obama did when you got reelected is that he signed the so-called magnitsky that would sanction russian citizens and some russian officials what does it tell you about the new stage of the russian u.s. relations with britain about my health but i don't think this was the first thing about one hundred first was really like that this was inevitable with. the senators some of the guardian and some other censored use this idea. it was clearly. to create catch twenty two for the administration because that ministration was moving the removal of jacksonville. amendment with the support of quite a number of people on the hill. and this was absolutely obvious that the

ricans want it because it was rushed obsession to w t o. keeping checks and then it would mean depriving the american companies of the benefits of. membership of the russian federation so they had to do this. anyway and then the republicans i think decided to have this trick to hinge the jackson very. removal on magnitsky act which was at that moment i think most of it. done against president obama. because as for the russian citizens who have been included on that list and they haven't seen that it's still. not published. if they want to prevent russian citizens they don't like the united states they can

do it without their guardians without any show well remember the off record conversation that obama and mediator had and obama promised to be more flexible right after elections but from what you're saying how how how much flexible can he really be or allow himself to be with this republican opposition in congress well i think that's the peculiarities of the american system and the congressman can freeze consideration of. very important issues just because the beef from his particular state is not being admitted to one country or in the other for the senate the reasons and. the issues of global importance could be just frozen because of the. interest of one single state in the united states'. interests having nothing to do with the substance of the issue in question so sometimes the issues of huge importance like

the you know the israeli palestinian conflict and the need to settle it being the just for years and years. because of the peculiarity of the american. electoral cycles we would prefer. to approach international issues on the basis of the. merit and on the basis of the crying need to do something to get a result looking back at the or the mystic politicking or interests to be a level precious foreign minister thank you very much for this interview thank you .

you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realized everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm tom harpur welcome to the big picture. good leverage or mccurry was able to build a new most sophisticated robot which fortunately doesn't give
